Chinese Culture Foundation of San Francisco

Chinese Culture Center (CCC), under the aegis of the Chinese Culture Foundation of San Francisco, is one of the leading and most prominent cultural and social centers in the city of San Francisco. CCC is dedicated to elevating underserved communities and giving voice to equality through education and contemporary art.

Founded in 1965, Chinese Culture Foundation opened its primary program site, Chinese Culture Center in 1973. Our work is based in Chinatown and San Francisco’s open and public spaces, and other art institutions. In 2014, CCC opened 41 Ross, an experimental community art space located in one of the most historic alleyways in Chinatown.

CCC has five decades of experience embedded in the community leading complex public art projects and events supported by Grants for the Arts, San Francisco Arts Commission, the SF Municipal Transportation Agency, among others. CCC is an award winning institution. We have been selected for the prestigious “Our Town” grant funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, nominated for the Robert E. Gard award celebrating excellence in arts integration in community, and selected for the competitive Rainin Foundation Open Space program.
